Before using SAPODA to generate a business object definition from an IDoc
definition file, you must create the IDoc definition file for each IDoc you
want to support. SAPODA uses this file as input. Use transaction
WE63 in SAP to create the IDoc definition file. If you use
SAPODA to generate the definition from an IDoc defined in the SAP system, you
do not need to create this IDoc definition file.
- Important:
- You must log on to the SAP system in English to generate business object
definitions from IDoc files. Because SAPODA uses a text field in the
IDoc's definition to generate attribute names, and because attribute names
must be in English, it is important that you generate definitions from
English-language files.
